18...

gosh and just like that another clan member reaches the grand age of 18. the sun decided to shine all day and it was a lovely day to stop and take time out to spend quality family time together and let Our #2 feel most special for her big day. my folks flew from across the pond to join in with our celebrations and i am quite pleased with myself for i only did one silly thing and that silly thing was whilst drifting off last night. yes dearest readers, i dared to count the days before she too cuts the apron strings and moves to pastures new on the East Coast.

how can it be it feels only like yesterday she was born and yet here we are 18 years on with only 13 weeks left of her in our nest?

she is thinking it is only 10 days until she becomes a mother of 4 teenagers ~ Tif

Your daughter is simply adorable. Will she be the 2nd to fly the nest? I had 3 kids and now they're all married and I have 6 grandkids. You think when they're all married that you don't have to worry about them anymore, but guess what? You still do! Good luck with everything. Teresa from down under.. in Oregon

Oh Tif...try not to think and calculate the days away, you'll only be sad and then won't enjoy the days you have left as much. Your daughter is beautiful. I am sure that you will be kept busy with them popping in on holidays and with the younger ones and your craft commitments the time will fly in between visits. Bittersweet!

Glad to see your no 2 is carrying on the family well-wearing tradition - must be her English heritage ... I, too, favour long socks under wellies - I am becoming convinced that I am on the way to being a style icon ...

oh my...i am the same...1st may i was mum to my second 18 year old and 4th may i was mum to my first 21 year old and 2 double digit ten year olds....where does the time go!!!???just a blink and then they are adults...well, that's what it feels like anyway...i feel sorta sad, but happy for them...not easy being a mama!!!hope your day was fabulous with your clan...xxx

Oh sweetie.....'tis a month till I have a 15 year old in the house with only 3 years left with us at home.Lately I have been thinking so much about making sure those 3 years count and have I taught her enough yet....atleast I have a spare 8 year old to continue to try and get it right.Your 18 yo is truly lovely!

Happy Birthday to your darling No2.What a beautiful young lady (and, of course, a very handsome cat)Time does indeed fly past as swift as Concorde, where did the years go? Enjoy every day dear Tif.Carol xx

Gosh, and here I am feeling emotional because my #1 has started full time school, and #2 will be off to kindergarten next year...everyone says they grow up too fast, and they really do don't they.Would love to know if your girl/s love to crochet and sew like you? I am only just now (in my mid 30's) learning crochet from my mum, who taught herself at the age of 19. I only wish I had learnt sooner!Gorgeous birthday photos!Tracey :)
